VICE IN THE DISTRICT
Petition of the Wemenss Chrissiau
Temperance Gnisn.

In the Senate to-day Mr.. Coiqnitt presented a
petition from the woinen's Christian Temperance
union OF the District. He said the petition came
from Christian women OF the highest character:
that while he would not be responsible for the
startling statements contained in the petition he
would answer for the character and motive OF the
petitioners The petition, he said, was bold and
aggressive and challenged an investigation OF the
statements. 1t demanded the attention and scru-
tiny OF the Senate. It was the plea OF mothers and
wives, Christian women who honored this city aid
who were known in the most benevolent and exc
allied works 1t was the plea OF dependent women
against such an excess Of vice and OF lawleSSness
as was not only alarming but humiliating. Mr..
COlQuitt said the Senate could not disregard the
voice OF women when 1t was uttered in behalf Of
social purity and public virtue. That petition
was an Impeachment Of public morals at the ma
uonal capital which showed this city to be little
better in the scale OF morality than the most de-
PRAYED The petition had caused the petitioners
no little trouble. They were aware that the lot OF
the reformer was hard one; that they would en-
counter the filings OF the heartleSs and the SUPER
c1nous They knew that often the well meaning
and the benevolent were put on the defensive
when their only motive was TO snatch others from
vice and degradation. Mr.. ColQuitt said the Sem
ate could not avoid the responsibility; that its
power is ample. He said these Christian women
appealed TO the Senate, and II the facts were as
set forth he could not see why the Senate should
not intervene to redress the grievances. He could
not see how the Senate could excuse itself to the
nation or the world for ignoring the matter.

GALVESTON, TEX, Nov. %. - The

though no strike had occurred. The
strikers places have been Fl led, and it Is
doubtful if one of them ever r. covers his
old job. The strikers conducted them
selves in an orderly manner, and have
petitioned the railroad that if their re-
quest for higher wsges is granted they
promise never to strike again. The
70 DIS have ignored the petition alto

HOUSTON, TEX Nov. 28.-The railroad
strike in Houston and Galveston has
about ended. The railroad companies
have evidently gained the day. TIE fol-
lowing proposition from the striking
switchmen had been submitted
to the railroad companies:
l. That ell employees shall be reinstated
and placed on the same footing that they
were before the commencement of the
present trouble.
2. We do pledge ourselves that we will
not again strike for higher wages under
any circumstances; should our demands
be acceded to.
3. Should we at any time hereafter
have any trouble, we are willing TO SUD-
nit it to the division superintendent, ana
will abide by his decision.

From the best information obtsinable
the answer OF the companies is about
this, each company answering for itself,
but all substantially to the same effect:
Let every man who wants employment
as switchmsn make application. The

A Monopoly That Makes 1900 Per Gent.


A New York newspaper has been show
ing some of the inside facts Of the tels-
phone monopoly, and they do not tend to
make US any the less FESTIVE under the
FACTIONS of that Intuition. 1t is shown
that the paris OF the instrument
which the Bell Company furnish,
and for which they charge q rental aver
aging Sl4 per year represents an outlay
OF but 80 cents, and that thus, on that in
vestment alone, they realize each year q
profit OF over 1900 per cent; that they
nave watered their stock enormously in
order TO cover up the tremendous profits;
that for all tdeir alleged investments of
millions OF capital they have no hing but
q shop and suite of offices, land do not own
a mile of wire nor 8 single exchange.
Since 1878, period less than ten years,
ali the principal owners OF the company
have made fortunes varying from So, 0g5,-
900 to SO, 100000.
